First Place - Corn and Beans by urcunina - Great composition and plenty of green!

Second Place - Hide and Seek by dale500 - Another one with great composition and lots of green.

"green entry" actually was my title...not the wittiest of titles...but it worked for me...either way liked the broad topic to get more entries...congrats to the winners...

edit...just wanted to say quarters...you're shot blew me away...great capture

Good choices! Its easy to see this would not be any easy one to judge.
I knew I was missing a step before posting, thank you for your professional and always complete comments .

Not trying to start an argument but I would like to understand the rules of the game - Portland Japanese Gardens didn't have a title in the subject line but got an honorable mention. Green Entry made an attempt at a title, maybe not a very creative one, but was disqualified.

Can someone please explain this to me? I'm not questioning the judging, I'm questioning (and I know I'm not the first to do so) the contest format and the hit-or-miss way the rules seem to be applied lately.

Thanks Edd S for giving me the first place. And my compliments to you for your subject GREEN. You got a nice number of interesting photos. I hope that I can think of as good subject as well...

Sorry for the oversight. I try to be consistant in applying the rules.

Just to make it official "Green Entry" by DreDaze is now one of the Honorable Mentions.

You all may notice that not onlt in the sublect line, but in the message I put my title of the entry. In fact, I introduce it in the message as "Title:" then put the title name.

Thanks for the Honorable Mention Edd!
My two favorites were Hide and Seek by dale500
and Green darner by quarters

aw, that sucks, mine didn't get noticed.... i guess it was too different

Nawww...it wasn't too different. Some people just can't appreciate a great classic car!

mine had just a bit of green to be ironic

Thanks EDD S - A great topic last week congrats to the winners. Also thank you to SNOWRDR and DREDAZE for the feed back.
